The “Physics” of Notations: Toward a Scientific Basis for Constructing Visual Notations in Software Engineering (2009, background): “Baldwin and Clark [4] have proposed this as a unifying paradigm for the IT industry, which helps cope with the mind-boggling levels of complexity encountered.”
Platform Ecosystems: How Developers Invert the Firm (2017, unknown): “In the personal computer industry, for example, these layers consist of semiconductor manufacturing, PC assembly, operating system, and application software, among others (Baldwin and Clark 2000; Grove 1996; Shapiro and Varian 1999).”
Platform Rules: Multi-Sided Platforms as Regulators (2008, unknown): “Apart from licensing, property rights assignment and other traditional contractual and legal instruments, platform technologies and design are themselves understood as a means of virtually imposing “laws” (Lessig 1999) and design “rules” (Baldwin and Clark 2000).”
Job-Hopping in Silicon Valley: Some Evidence Concerning the Microfoundations of a High-Technology Cluster (2005, unknown): “Thus, all pairs in period one choose a level of training, ˆ t , that satisfies the first-order condition (1+ r ) c ’= (1994) and Baldwin and Clark (2000 ), the technological dynamism in the computer industry stems in part from their modular design.”
Customer preference discontinuities: a trigger for radical technological change (2008, background): “Complex products are generally embedded in a hierarchy of systems with boundaries drawn at multiple levels (Tushman and Rosenkopf, 1992; Christensen and Rosenbloom, 1995; Baldwin and Clark, 2000; Schilling, 2000).”
Service Innovation: A Service-Dominant Logic Perspective (2015, background): “Such an architecture implies the potential for the service platform to facilitate service exchanges that involve components within a functional design hierarchy (leading to variations of a core value proposition) or across multiple design hierarchies (leading to completely different value propositio”
The Role of Participation Architecture in Growing Sponsored Open Source Communities (2008, background): “By maintaining compatibility with design rules within modules developers can self-select the modules they know best, reducing participant learning curves and thus lowering the cost to participate (Baldwin and Clark, 2000).”
The New C Standard (Excerpted material) An Economic and Cultural Commentary (2008, unknown): “3 4 void f(int n, int a[n][2]) 5 { /* .”
Exploring the Duality between Product and Organizational Architectures: A Test of the Mirroring Hypothesis (2012, unknown): “As this perspective gained popularity, it was extended to include the link between an organization and the environment in which it operates.”
Beyond Gaussian averages: redirecting international business and management research toward extreme events and power laws (2007, background): “Nobel Laureate Herbert Simon (1962) argued the case for 'nearly decomposable' subunits – the basis of what is now called 'modular design' (Baldwin and Clark, 2000).”
Global platforms and ecosystems: Implications for international business theories (2019, background): “…are designed to facilitate mix-and-match innovation (Garud & Kumaras-wamy, 1995) through the rapid recombination of varied innovation assets, by minimizing the inter-dependencies among modules and making explicit the nature of their interconnectivity through open interfaces (Baldwin & Clark, 2000).”
Design of virtual plant environment for future generation green production systems (2007, unknown): “Standardized interface parameters and protocols are termed design rules [Baldwin and Clark, 1997; Sanchez, 2000], and are key enablers of innovation [Baldwin and Clark, 2000].”
